I’ve never really played with the four-coloured deck online at all but I can in theory see the benefits.

I’ve only really played a single table at a time so far, last night was my first instance of trying to multi-table (only 2 tables, but it did not go well and my playing improved once I was knocked out of one).

With multi-tabling I suppose the four-coloured deck is easier for you to define suits at a glance, however if you are playing a single table them playing with the four colours wouldn’t be needed (unless you like playing with it of course, each to their own :))

I found 4 color decks when playing on my Phone are helpful. Because Im old and blind as a bat. I made a couple mistakes not being able to tell difference in spade and a club. Like I said Im blind as a bat. It took me a little getting use to.

It took a little getting used to but now I can't play without a 4-colored deck.

Not sure why any online player wouldnt want a 4 color deck, it helps you make decisions faster and helps to lessen mistakes.

For those who have vision problems, I think that it is the best idea to implement different colored books and in addition they also have an attractive aesthetic.

It's all a matter of adaptation, as I train with a deck of 2 colors, when I play with 4 colors it gets in my way, I trained focusing on the design and not on the color, for me a deck of 4 colors is completely unnecessary, as for playing tired it's better not to play

I recommend the 4-color deck, besides being better for identifying your player more quickly, I think that in live tournaments they should use the 4-color deck

When I was actively playing 6-8 tables, I always used a 4-color deck, so as not to peer into the cards (it is desirable that the entire card is completely painted in color, then it is completely good). Now I have stayed with this coloring purely out of habit and simply laziness to climb into the settings - 1-2 tables and at home with friends I play with a 2-color deck without any problems and do not experience any discomfort.

This is a part more about table layout preferences, but I'm a fan of the 4-color deck that makes it easier on monotone boards, which can be confusing.
In relation to simultaneous tables, I suggest you start opening tables in sitgo as the game becomes more automatic and thus trains your mind to insert more screens.

Online, if possible, I play with 4 coloured cards. It helps if I play on multiple tables.
I don't need this in live, as the hands are slow and I only play on one table.

Yeah, I like the four color deck much more. I put it in the settings in pokerstars. It's really very convenient. But it doesn't give me any advantage over my opponents. :unsure:

When we play live we play with a two color deck; are you for two colored decks or against them in live poker. On the internet we have the option to play with four color decks, which helps me when I get tired. Is this an advantage or disadvantage in your eyes if live poker implemented four colored decks?
First off if you are tired do not play, unless in a tournament I guess. Personally I dislike a four colour deck

4-color decks have become a necessity online with the advent of the ability to play at multiple tables simultaneously.Even though complex strategic decisions can sometimes be made in a split second, our brains sometimes fall victim to simple optical illusions when the board is all red or all black.Offline this is not a problem, because we only concentrate on one table and have much more time to check everything.

The 2 colours are better than 4, as why make it easier if you are finding it harder to concentrate.
Poker is supposed to be mentally draining and mistakes are supposed to be made. This is part of pokers charm.

I've never been able to play with a four-color deck of cards, and I can't navigate them, even though it's just a matter of habit.

I think it’s not very important, and in a live tournament you only have one table and you definitely don’t need to be super attentive to the suits on the cards, but on the Internet when you play many tables, it’s important for me to have a four-color deck in order to beat attentive to the suits on the cards
